BOYS BASKETBALL: After nearly making it to state final, Chaminade could be even better next season

It will still take some time to heal from a heartbreaking loss in the regional final, but Chaminade High’s boys basketball is going to be more than OK.

With a rotation filled with underclassmen, the Eagles return nearly every key player after falling to St. Augustine 61-57 on Saturday – one victory shy of qualifying for the Div. III state final.

“Obviously it hurts, but as the days go on, I’m looking more at the big picture,” head coach Todd Wolfson said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished, and when I step back, I’m proud of everything we’ve done.”

Chaminade finished 27-8, falling in the Southern Section final but winning a total of seven playoff games..

“For a long time in that game Saturday, we didn’t have one senior on the floor, so it’s going to be interesting to see what happens next year,” Wolfson said. “I’m hoping the best for Chaminade basketball has yet to come.”

BABY POWDER BLUES

Twice in the second half Saturday, the game was delayed to clean up baby powder on the floor after St. Augustine fans threw baby powder in the air just before the third quarter. Nevertheless, Wolfson made no excuses.

“Obviously, I was not too happy about it but what are you going to do,” Wolfson said. “Some things happen, and you deal with it and move on. But it didn’t help.”

INTEREST PICKS UP

Jaron Martin, Chaminade’ all-time leading scorer, has built some recruiting interest.

“He has a lot offers including Chico State, Cal State San Marcos, Cal State Dominguez Hills and Cal Lutheran,” Wolfson said. “And The Master’s College called, too.”
